They are seriously tough engines if looked after, and the head is not corroded.
Pricey to rebuild, though.
Might be worth making contact with Volvo , though they seem to want to distance themselves from the "proper " cars that built their reputation.

Like the sleeper idea, Ted.
Every one expects classic cars to be slow and stodgy.
There used to be one in Eastbourne when I was young, a stock looking 245, but with a 350 Chevy nestling in there.

Keep up the good work!
Jim.

just going for a full rebuild and leave standard pistons and rods in for now and see how it goes i suppose

whilst at work yesterday bought a full overhaul kit for my new engine. all gaskets and all seals,head bolts, water pump and timing belt kit just need to find a place to get hold of an oil pump, bottom end bearing,shells,thrust washers and pistonrings
